Segway: IT Lives

Dec 03, 2001 9:30am CST tags: Games: Console
Carried over from last night...Well here "IT" is, a little earlier than expected...Segway, the mystery invention also known as "Ginger" (thanks Aizaz Akram and everyone else who sent this in). Time magazine's story on Segway shows that the personal vehicle is intended for intra-city transportation (meaning you won't use it on a highway, but to get to work it's a gem), and features no steering wheel, a super-rechargable battery and an engine that has no harmful emissions of any kind. Initially it will be available for industrial use, but the plan is to have a consumer model out shortly thereafter (with a price tag of around $2,000).
